Description
The DBA 4000 Series Drilled & Slotted Front Brake Rotor provides a replacement braking surface for 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 (Normal Susp / A/T).
DBA’s 4000 Series uses high-carbon alloyed iron and Thermal Stability Profiling. This combination is intended to support rotor stability through the repeated heating and cooling associated with demanding braking.
The friction surface and pad compound should be selected together. A rotor upgrade should complement the vehicle’s brake configuration and intended duty rather than substitute for appropriate pads, fluid or cooling.
The slots and drilled holes create exit paths for friction dust and gases at the pad contact surface. Match the stated position and surface design to the existing brake configuration.
